Alan Jackson, once known for his involvement in Karen Read’s defense, has assumed the legal representation of Nick Reiner. Reiner stands accused of murdering his parents, including acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner, drawing heightened attention to this unfolding court drama.

Lyle and Erik Menendez, convicted of killing their parents in 1989, have both been denied parole in back-to-back hearings. Citing misbehavior behind bars, the California parole board ruled that the brothers remain unsuitable for release at this time. While Erik will be eligible again in three years, Lyle’s future now rests with Governor Gavin Newsom.
